Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

Personally I didn't like any part of this job. Going into this I was very clear that I didn't want a position that required cold calling. They assured me that all the calls I had to make on office days were "leads". After 4 weeks of studying to get my license and doing the trainings (which the company makes you pay for everything yourself, and it's not cheap), I was ready to start my job. The first day in office I was calling non-responders...so people that didn't want to be bothered but their information had been sold online. We had a script to read which made it sound like I was a telemarketer. People were angry, annoyed and downright mean when you called. Other people were gullible and believed that they needed to buy healthcare from you, which made me feel terrible because our target calls were the elderly (people that need healthcare). Some people may enjoy this, if you do, that's great for you. Me, I was miserable. I was also told that they strive to help people. This is not the case. Everyone there was motivated by money and how many sales they could get. My passion is helping people and this job just did not allow me to do it.

Pros

Bankers provides award winning training, an elaborate product portfolio and a rapidly growing market. They leverage cutting edge technology: contact and LEAD management, electronic business submission, an incredible proprietary mobile application. I have 11 companies I can be appointed with - making sure my clients get the best program for what they NEED. A great opportunity to receive great training, work with great people and make a great living, all for helping people.

Cons

This opportunity is just that, an opportunity. Those who don't take advantage of it won't think it is a good one. Even successful people deal with a ton of rejection, thick skin is needed. With a 40% closing ratio, I still hear "No" more than "Yes".
